Initial work on a Karbon CDR import filter

[Friedrich W. H. Kossebau]

Hi,

last weekend I started to try if I can do an import filter for the CorelDraw 
file format. I managed to get first parts of that format decoded and turned 
into some Karbon document data, see also my blog entry
	http://frinring.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/trying-to-read-files-from-the-
past/

Some questions:
Initially I tried to create directly a KarbonDocument object, not another SVG 
file. But then I found out that shapes like e.g. Rectangle and Ellipsis are 
only provided by factories from plugins, so I cannot create them directly from 
code, is that correct? Do I really have to instead create a SVG file as 
output? 

Anybody would like to join the efforts? You are welcome! The CDR formats I 
will work on are the ones for version 4 and 5 (as these are the ones of the 
files I am interested in). So people with other versions will have to scratch 
their itch themselves :)

You can find the current state in the branch “CDRImport” in my clone of the 
Calligra repo here:

Cheers
